This is the first year that this prestigious tournament will be held in Springfield. This tournament was held in nearby Holyoke, MA from 1957 to 2003 at which time it was relocated to various venues in Connecticut. The tournament was brought back to Holyoke in 2013 after a large push by former Golden Gloves leaders and enthusiasts. Due to the overwhelming support and demand for tickets the tournament was moved to the Mass Mutual Center to accommodate its growth and popularity. Western Massachusetts has a long history of both professional and amateur boxing. Many Golden Gloves champions began their careers, or bettered themselves through the Western New England Golden Gloves Tournament. Boxers such as “Iron” Mike Tyson, Marlon “The Magic Man” Starling, Larry Davis, Kevin Rooney, Harold Rice, Patrick Ireland, Dave Bergeron, Wilber Cameron and Bob Stewart, who in 1974 captured the National Golden Gloves 175 pound championship with a win over future professional heavyweight title holder Michael Dokes in Denver, Colorado, had all participated in this event.
